There are only nine articles on the special town meeting warrant, but the expectation of perhaps a long night of debate and discussion on the “money articles” may be in the cards for Monday night’s meeting.

First up on the agenda is a capital improvement Public Works request for $26,400 in new snow plow attachments and $95,500 for design and permitting of a new water source.

The plow attachments will be paid for out of free cash and the water source project from water department revenues.

Article 2 will address the adjustment and transfer of funds to balance this fiscal year’s budget. Town Administrator Orlando Pacheco said there will be a slight increase to the budget and that details for the adjustments will be available at the meeting.

The Historical Commission is requesting voter approval on a $3.4 million renovation and repair project to the Prescott Building on Town Green. Funding will be outside of the tax levy and, if town meeting approves the project Monday night, the request would be voted on again at a town election next May. Estimated yearly payments of a resident owning a home valued at $500,000 will be $46 in the first year, $190 in the second year, and will then decrease over the life of the 20 year borrowing.

The Thayer Field Recreation Campus task force is requesting $563,750 to fund the first phase of a multi-year plan which will include design and permitting, site work and infrastructure, a perimeter walking trail, basketball courts, playground and splash pad. The task force has applied for a Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities grant. If the grant is approved by the state, the town will be reimbursed $360,800. The town will not fund the plan if the grant is not approved by the state.

The Nashoba Regional High School is requesting approval of an $8 million science lab project; if approved Monday night, the project will have to be approved again at a special town election in early November. There will be information available at the meeting regarding how much taxpayers can expect to pay per household for this project (see a related story, page 1).

Article 6 will ask voters to approve a $61,500 purchase of 20.5 acres of land abutting the Town Forest.

Two articles will ask for approval of permanent and temporary easements at Five Corners for construction purposes, and that a portion of South Bolton Road be discontinued as a roadway.

Voters will also be asked to authorize the creation of a Veterans Tax Abatement Program, which will not be funded until the next fiscal year.

Special town meeting is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 1 at the Mary Rowlandson Elementary School auditorium. The meeting will be called to order at 7 p.m.
